The players will just walk by and stop for any kid asking. Seriously. Did it once because I won a contest, met Max and saw BP on the field. Well worth it. Yea, I'm going to do it. I also have batting practice tickets in August because my law firm participated in the Nat's Youth Academy charity tournament and kicked ass.

CRobi21 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Goodness gracious. Since May 24th we've had series against: Good Teams - Braves x2 Average Teams - Phillies x2 (though they've been downright bad since being hit by the injury bug), DBacks Bad Teams - Marlins x3, Reds, Chisox x2, Padres, Tigers, Royals, Orioles Yes, that is a cakewalk portion of the schedule. We've face FAR more bad teams than good...... MASN flashed the graphic just last night of our opponents winning % since the run started, and FP commented how the schedule has been in our favor. No one is saying the sky is falling, winning baseball games is always fun. The starting pitching has put up incredible numbers during that span, and timely hitting has masked the troubles that this team had earlier in the year. The emergence of Rodney has given the bullpen some better depth, but there are still a lot of holes there. Jury is still out on Davey. It's pretty easy to manage when your starting pitcher goes 7 dominant innings and your offense has given you a fool proof lead.

Burgold Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 On the other hand, a bad team loses a fair amount to other bad teams. Sometimes, getting good is catching a break, taking advantage of it, and rediscovering your confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) should also be noted that we started turning a corner when our players were healthy. Trea came back, Rendon came back and we haven't really looked back since. The bullpen progressed to the mean from the historically bad that they were to start to the year. They're still abysmal, but its hard to think they can be "worst of all-time" bad for the entire season.

Renegade7 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Here's the thing about the about the Nats since I've been following them, typically they've either owned their division or someone takes their lunch money. How many times we've seen them pad their lead with basically nothing but back to back series against their inferior division rivals only to get bounced in the first round? This is probably the best baseball theyve ever played, but it only matters if its October or November, where there is no more cakewalk anymore. I am enjoying the ride and happy for them, but in my head they are Capitals-light and none of this really matters yet. We got the Dodgers coming up soon, I've seen us have to play them or someone else like the Cardinals late in the season and jus feel like we weren't ready, an omen I had to try and ignore.

Rex Tomb Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 This strike zone is pretty outrageous. Gomes should have had a base on balls there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Tomb Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Corbin's cruising now. Offense has to be hacking a bit more. Its clear that Teheran is looking to pound the outside corner and he's getting every close pitch called his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Tomb Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) The offense is dormant right now. We tend to make Teheran look like a Cy Young candidate. The strike zone is not helping though. Edited July 20, 2019 by Rex Tomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeman38 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Davey REFUSES to walk Freeman. Like an idiot. Open base, keeps the force and DP in order, but no, pitch to the guy that is KILLING you with a guy in scoring position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) This series got a lot harder with Scherzer hurt. Needed this one tonight. Expect we’re headed toward a L now... . If we lose tonight there is no chance we take 3 of 4. And tbh, there’s no real difference between a split and a lost series. The result is the same: we aren’t catching Atlanta.

Bacon Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) This is why holding onto 2-1 leads is important when we have them. The bats won't always be there for us. Edited July 20, 2019 by Bacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
